(Reuters) - Rights activists called on Thursday for the immediate release of a transgender women allegedly raped by her cellmate at an Arizona immigrant detention center, accusing authorities of refusing to provide for her safety.

The activists say immigration and detention center officials have shown they are incapable of protecting the 23-year-old woman following the alleged July 20 sexual assault at the Eloy Detention Center, southeast of Phoenix.

The woman, Marichuy, whose legal name is Jesus Leal Gamino, has been detained for more than a year at the 1,437-detainee center, which is operated by Corrections Corporation of America under a contract with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

.....

By what?

Why was it being held at an ICE facility? Was it an illegal alien?

Nice to know there are so many rapists trying to illegally immigrate to America that one of them raped this transgender individual.

Sounds like his celly can't afford the companionship and the officers aren't going to regulate prostitution gone wrong-er.

To end up someplace with actual CELLS you have to have done something more significant than crossing a border illegally. You've got some experience in this career field. Race regardless, you post up as a woman at a mens penitentiary/detainment facility, you've got your hustler sign in the window, and some days the hustler hustles, some days they get hustled. You play you pay.
